Phil Urban, chief executive of Mitchells & Butlers which owns Miller & Carter, recently said steak prices to buy for the supplier have have raced 30 per cent higher.

He said: “He said: “Some of our competitors have taken steak off the menu entirely.

“Where steak is not the core product, we have reduced the number of steak and beef dishes or re-engineered the menu.

“What I won’t do is change the quality of the meat or the portion size… and nor can we pass on all that (cost increase) on to the customer.”
